that red lip, classic thing: lipstick review

Welcome to my first blog post! This post is in collaboration with Venus & Mars, a new beauty brand based out of San Fransisco. I was lucky enough to receive three of their amazing lipsticks, Code Red, Marilyn, & Respect. Of the three colors, my favorite was definitely the Marilyn. It is a perfect cherry red color, which is my go to whenever I am in the mood for a bold lip. Venus & Mars products are all natural, not tested on animals (yay!), and are made in Canada. They are currently offering 20% off your first order and free U.S. shipping. 

Since this post is all about lipstick, naturally I decided to style my outfit around this quirky printed top I recently purchased at a local boutique. The rest of the items in this look are old favorites, but I have listed where each item is from below. 

Top: Mint Market; Collared Shirt: Urban Outfitters; Skirt: Madewell; Clutch: Shiraleah Chicago; Bracelet and Ring: Kate Spade; Umbrella: Zara; Mirror: Forever 21; 
Lipstick: C/O: Venus & Mars
